Harmonic Formulas for Filtering Applications (continued)

Harmonic Formulas for filtering applications (continued):

Series Resonant Circuit

For the series R-L-C circuit resonance will occur when the total impedance is purely resistance.

This occurs when XL = XC

With this we can expand this

and

or where

(1)

and

(2)

We already know, from earlier discussions, that

and

and

and we allow H to be a multiple of "f" we can force (2) to look like this

then changing this to

Reducing this we get

(3)

H will be the harmonic multiple to the fundamental

From an earlier paper we showed the following:

From (3) we can come up with the systems harmonic resonance

(4)

Where:

H = harmonic order

MVAsc= = available short circuit at the capacitor bank .

MVAR = capacitor bank size.
